| 11:04.35 | ndim | Jürgen Trittin: "Jamaika soll eine schöne Insel sein, aber grüne Inhalte können Sie da in der Tüte rauchen." |
| 11:04.55 | ndim | Hmm. OK. If you are not German, you need a lot of explanation for that. |
| 11:08.58 | ndim | There are five or six parties which play a significant role on the federal level here: Conservative and christian CDU/CSU, the social democrats SPD (which traditionally have had 30..45% of the votes, each of them). Then there are the liberal (in the sense of liberty) FDP, the Green party and, relatively new, a new party on the far left, "Die Linke". |
| 11:09.24 | ndim | CDU/CSU use black as their color, SPD red, FDP yellow, the Greens green, and "Die Linke" use red as well. |
| 11:10.32 | ndim | Governments need a coalition to get a majority. Traditional coalitions are black/yellow (CDU/CSU/FDP), red/yellow (SPD/FDP), and occationally black/red (CDU/CSU/SPD). |
| 11:11.23 | ndim | However, in recent times, the idea of a "Jamaica" coalition (black/yellow/green, i.e. conservative/liberal/green) has come up several times. |
| 11:12.20 | ndim | But now the Green head candidate for the next parliamentary election has said: "Jamaica is supposed to be a beautiful island, but you can smoke (G/g)reen contents in a bag there." |

| 19:12.08 | catay | too expensive :P |
| 19:12.16 | TheRedBaron | bad catay |
| 19:12.20 | TheRedBaron | think of how warm you could be ~! |
| 19:12.46 | catay | my radiators are working very well |
| 19:14.14 | ndim | Whether you're using radiators or floor heating... the main point is to insulate well, which then requires ventilation, so you need a proper heat-exchanger for the ventilation as well. |
| 19:14.24 | catay | indeed |
| 19:14.29 | ndim | The bad news is that all of that is quite expensive. :-/ |
| 19:14.36 | catay | yup |
| 19:14.49 | catay | well, you gain it back on long term |
| 19:14.59 | ndim | But you have to front the money first. |
| 19:15.10 | catay | but when you renovate and you want all the fancy energy saving stuff in your house ... |
| 19:15.14 | catay | it costs tons |
| 19:15.19 | ndim | yupp |
| 19:16.01 | ndim | And it is much easier to pay one or two kilobucks more per year in heating costs, than paying 150 kilobucks at once for insulation. |
| 19:16.30 | ndim | (and other energy saving measures) |
| 19:19.13 | ndim | Muhahah. Deutsche Bahn (the national railway company) had a blackout in their central computing center. No bookings via internet, sales points, or ticket machines. |
| 19:19.15 | ep | This is what they should be doing with the "stimulus" plan in the US, since everybody seems to think we need one. subsidizing these type of construction projects. Provides jobs short term. Energy savings long term. |
| 19:19.54 | ndim | ep: Lots of jobs short term, some jobs in maintenance and repair and energy savings long term. |
| 19:20.18 | catay | i tried to insulate mine as much as possible |
| 19:21.02 | ndim | Don't forget the ventilation :) |
| 19:21.09 | catay | we are subsidized for it |
| 19:21.22 | catay | if we installed new windows and stuff like that |
| 19:21.50 | catay | but it's money that comes from the governement .. so it takes always a few years before you get it :) |
| 19:22.24 | ep | but instead, they'll just give it to the bankers on wall street and it will trickle down. Maybe in the form of blue ice from the CEO private party jet flying to the Caribbean :-) |
| 19:22.41 | catay | heh |
| 19:23.47 | catay | well, i must say, i can't complain |

| 19:41.21 | catay | TheRedBaron: I never had any power :) |

| 19:43.03 | catay | take kierra_away :) |

| 20:54.19 | catay | specially in a virtual environment |
| 20:55.55 | catay | best solution is to play it in a psychological kind of way when a endusers complainst the app goes slow :P |
| 20:56.27 | catay | do nothing, wait 30min. , call the end-user back and ask if it's better , chances are high he says yes :) |
| 20:56.37 | catay | problem solved :) |
| 20:59.54 | ndim | Ah. That's what gets you the big bucks! |
| 20:59.59 | ndim | Psychology! |
